Green Shopping

Follow our top tips to become a greener shopper!

Every year we produce seven times our body weight in rubbish and unnecessarily throw away £420 worth of food. The key to reducing your rubbish is to create less in the first place. Here are our top ten tips to help you look after the environment and save money.

Make a shopping list. Plan your meals before you go shopping and only buy what you need. Don’t be tempted by special offers on food items that may go out of date before you get round to eating them.

Buy recycled products such as toilet and kitchen roll. Products made from recycled materials take less energy to make and help save valuable natural resources.

Drink tap water and avoid bottled water. Tap water is just as good for you, cheaper and doesn’t create packaging waste. Buy a reusable water bottle and fill it with tap water to drink when you’re on the go.
